I have been a coach, umpire and tournament director. After many years from each position I have had the opportunity to watch many games.
I would like to know what the average number of coaches that you have ejected from a game over the course of a year, or 5 year period. Please state if this was high school, rec. ball, tournament games or something different. If you have tossed a good number of coaches, what was the circumstances?

1 in 8 years. He deserved it (without going into the circumstances). Were there others that may have been as deserving? Maybe, but generally the stern warning seems to work and if the coach is just being stupid, I let him look stupid. I do my best to ignore ignorance, unless it becomes personal or derogatory.
By the way for me we're talking Fed, ASA, NSA and various rec situations. Almost all are youth oriented.

A few thoughts here - first, no coach ejections in SB (2 in BB) - I have ejected scorekeepers and a parent or two and a player but never a coach.
Second, someone said earlier that they had none in NFHS because most know the rules - would you send them to WV because very few know the rules!

When I need parents to leave the area I usually have the AD, tournament director, tournament UIC or if none of them are around then I have the coach ask the parent/s to leave.

OK, I might just have to amend this to "how many coaches have tossed themselves" while you were the umpire? Or maybe, "how coaches have you shown the door to"?

I'll only answer for FP, 19 years. One assistant in HS was DQ, none in college. In ASA and PONY, I remember three coaches (one a head coach) whom I informed that they had been ejected, all lower age teams. One ASA coach was for a physical attack, ende up in court, fined and banned from coaching in that State.

In my years of umpiring, in HS ball I have benched one assistant, and even then his head coach was wanting him benched to teach him a lesson. In college, 0. In tournaments and rec leagues, I can recall 6.

Way to go. I wish that was the rule and not the exception. What state? Did the guy (oops, or gal) actually initiate an attack?
